Mother Of Ariel Castro Apologizes For Son's Kidnapping And Rapes Of Three Women; Says "I'm In A Lot Of Pain" As She Flees Country[VIDEO]

Lillian Rodriguez, the mother of Ariel Castro, spoke to reporters from the window of her car as she left her home. Her bags were packed and she was ready to flee the country.

"I am a mother in a lot of pain,' she said in Spanish. 'I am sorry for what my son has done."

She added that she is sorry for the mothers of the three women whom her son held hostage. Amanda Berry, 26, Gina DeJesus, 23, and Michelle Knight, 32 were kidnapped by Castro allegedly raping and beating them for a decade.

Castro, 52, was formally charged with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape after the three women and one of their six-year-old daughters escaped the home.

 Lillian Rodriguez shares her home with her other son Pedro, who was also arrested in connection with the kidnappings but who has not been formally charged.

Lillian sadly said, "We will get through this, our greatest concern is for those three girls,' she said. From one family to another, we feel your pain. I feel horrible that their families for their daughters for so many years. Those families always believe."

With tears in her eyes, she added that she never suspected Ariel's dark secret, calling him a loving cousin, father and son.

Another family member, Castro's daughter Arlene, also feels much sorrow for what her father did. She begs for forgiveness from Gina DeJesus, kidnapping victim and former her best friend.

Arlene had been the last person to see DeJesus, then 14, before she was snatched by her father in 2004 and imprisoned in his Cleveland home.

"I'm absolutely so, so sorry," she announced on GMA as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I really want to see you, Gina and I want you to meet my kids. I'm so sorry for everything."

Gina, who claims she was not close with her father, added "I'm really disappointed, embarrassed, devastated about this whole situation."

Horrible details have begun to emerge about what the girls may have been forced to endure over the last decade at the hands of their captors.

Local police sources revealed that Ariel Castro would use a sick game to 'train' the three girls not to run away by pretending to leave the house, only to beat them if they tried to run free.

This is said to be just one of the manipulative tactics he used to keep the three young women in his house for up to ten years.  In addition to rapes, Castro beat the girls frequently.

Michelle Knight was reportedly beaten the worst and most often.  She became pregnant with five of his children and he beat her until she miscarried all five times.  More details of the captivity will surface shortly.
